The film earned Rs. 40 crores on the opening day. And that's a cool 86% of the total occupancy Gadar 2 got. However, the overall occupancy on day one of the film's release was around 60%. This still goes on better than Pathan - Shah Rukh Khan's latest big release. But the credit still goes to Pathan for being the biggest Bollywood opener of all time, hitting a huge Rs. 55 crores on its opening day.

As far as Gadar 2 box office collection is concerned, there's still more to come. The film is expected to close the first week at around Rs. 125 crores. And this being an Independence Day week, the film might touch the Rs. 175 crores mark by the weekend.

Box Office India has some interesting take on Gadar 2's performance. Rajasthan, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Gujrat, and Delhi have single-screen screenings. And still, the numbers are record-breaking. Apart from this, a couple of other states are likely to perform satisfactorily.

Anil Sharma is the director of Gadar 2. Apart from Sunny Deol in the lead, you will see Amisha Patel sharing screen space with the veteran actor. The film's prequel - Gadar - was released back in 2001. And even in those days, it earned a whopping Rs. 130 crores worldwide.

Various names have been in the talks ever since. Some of the prominent of them are Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra and Kangana Ranaut. However, it is understood that finally it will be Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who will play this role.

For those who do not know, Dalbir Kaur is the elder sister of Sarbjit Singh. Sarbjit was a farmer, who came from Punjab. He mistakenly crossed the line and was found to have entered Pakistan, of course, illegally. He was accused of being a spy. He was ordered a capital punishment way back in 1991.

Soon after Afzal Guru was given capital punishment in India, Sarbjit was tortured to death in Pakistan. He spent as many as 23 years in Pakistani jail.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who is a regular figure at the Cannes Festival, had to face humiliation this time around. Actually, she was stopped at the gate and wasn’t allowed entry inside. She was there to promote her upcoming film.

Sanjay Gupta is the director of Jazbaa, Aish’s upcoming film. Sachin Joshi is the co-producer of the film. There was media presence along with the locals at the gate near the Indian Pavilion. All of them were eager to take a look at the Indian beauty.

It is understood that the reason for stopping Aishwarya at the gate was due to some security reason. Actually, the entry is allowed only if the person has a Blue Pass and it looked like Ash didn’t carry one at that time. The Jazbaa team had to be at the gate for around 20 minutes or so.

The reason for the goof up was the carelessness of the promoters of the film’s event.

Satyapaul, who is the Indian Embassy Protocol officer, saved the day for the beautiful Indian actress. It was later understood that the car in which Aishwarya came to the event didn’t have a Blue Permission sticker. Naturally, the security officer didn’t allow Ash’s car inside.

The officer was convinced that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was a global icon and that the event management of the film would handle the police in case the situation arises later.

2015-06-01T13:30:00.001+05:30

Rakhi Sawant, the opportunist who knows how to remain in the news, has once again managed to grab the headlines. She has once again made bold statements, of which she is neither afraid of nor cares about.

The bold Indian girl uploaded a video on YouTube last week. In the video Rakhi ‘ordered’ Sunny “You, Sunny Leone, get lost from my India....get lost from my film industry....”

Now, what’s the reason for Rakhi to put up a video in that way? Is it the fact that Rakhi is feeling insecure in front of Sunny or is she just using Sunny’s name to get in the news once again? Well, it’s your call and you have to decide that.

The message is crystal clear. Rakhi wants Sunny to leave both Bollywood and India. The bold and aggressive statements from Rakhi just didn’t stop here. She has even gone on to say that it is Sunny who is the reason for her to wear meager cloths.

Rakhi says that Sunny Leone is the reason why she and other Indian girls are forced to wear skimpy cloths. But then the simple question is didn’t Rakhi Sawant or other Indian girls were inadequate cloths before the arrival of Sunny?

Please take your pick!!!

Actually, the flick was supposed to be released exactly one month ago – on May 1. However, it was referred to the Revising Committee of the Censor Board.

According to an inside source, the producers of the film were at least expecting the Board to make lots and lots of cuts in the film. However, an outright rejection has come as a blow and they are understandably dejected.

As a matter of fact, one of the members – a female member – of the board had suggested awarding the film an “A” certificate. This would mean the film would at least get released with an “A” along with some cuts. However, the out-and-out refusal to clear the film wasn’t something expected by the producers.

Pahlaj Nihalani, who is the Board chief, has informed that it was Nandini Sardesai was at the forefront of having the film stalled. However, the producer Pritish Nandy is not ready to believe this statement as he knows that Nandini Sardesai wasn’t present when the screening of the film took place on both occasions.
